What is a Key Safe?

A key safe, (also known as a lockbox or key lockbox,) is a secure, weatherproof box designed to store keys securely outside your home. It allows authorised individuals, such as emergency responders, friends, family members or guests, to access your home when needed, even if you're not available.

Key safes are typically mounted on an exterior wall, often made of concrete or brick, in a discreet location, providing authorised individuals with access to the keys stored inside. These safes are often equipped with combination locks or keypads, allowing only those with the correct code to retrieve the keys.

The benefits of using a key safe are numerous:

1. Peace of Mind: knowing that help can always reach you in an emergency, even if you're unable to answer the door, whilst also being a safe and secure key storage sharing solution; no more getting locked out

2. Ultimate Convenience and Freedom:  Choose if you want to be in or out to let your guests, service providers, dog walker, childminder or kids in from school to suit your plans.

3.You're in Control: you decide who’s in your trust bubble without the need to hand out spare keys or modify door hardware.

Key safes offer convenience instead of relying on traditional key exchange methods, you can simply enter the code and retrieve the key from the safe, making the process quick and hassle-free.
